Alessandra Sanguinetti – Bio

Alessandra Sanguinetti was born in New York in 1968 and was brought up in Argentina from the age of 2. She has photographed around the remote farmlands near Buenos Aires, Argentina, for major bodies of work including the widely acclaimed On the Sixth Day, depicting the co-existence of people and animals, and the following series The Adventures of Guille and Belinda and the Enigmatic Meaning of Their Dreams. Guille and Belinda are two cousins who were ten and nine years old when Sanguinetti first began to photograph them, over the years she sought to portray their psychological and physical transformations as they matured into adults. The resulting images represent not only an elaborate collaboration between photographer and subject, but an intimate relationship cultivated over a five-year period.
